Out of Bounds Chapter 28
Alexis's POV I had to to be at lunch with Phoebe and Luke, 10 minutes ago but I was deliberately wasting time. I stand outside the restaurant thinking of maybe canceling but then Luke might think it's because of him.Yeah ofcourse it's because of him, I had sex with him and now I don't know how act around him.When I enter the restaurant I find Luke already there but alone without Phoebe."Hi." I say and he gets up pulling out a chair for me."Hi." He says with a smile and he also looks nervous."Where's Phoebe?" I ask trying to sound casual."The bathroom." He says and I internally sigh with relief she's here."So how's your day going?" He asks breaking the awkward silence."It's going fine, spent my morning analyzing data at the lab so pretty good." I say and he smiles."What about you?" I ask."Had some meetings but done for the day." He says at the same time Phoebe joins us."Hey new fave bestie." She says sitting beside me."Hey." I say with a smile."You didn't order?" She asks

Alexis's POV Phoebe and I arrived at Palm Springs late last night and we crashed immediately sleeping in so as not to be jet lagged tomorrow. The next morning when I wake, my parents overnight guests were already here. I stop by Phoebe's room downstairs to see if she's up but she's not in her room. I find her at the terrace having breakfast with my parents. "Honey." My dad says getting up to hug me, he's so sweet. "Morning dad." "You're up." Phoebe says with a smile. "Yes and you're up early." I say to her surprised because usually sleeps in. "Don't know how but I woke up early today, maybe it's the springs and scenery." Phoebe says. "Definitely that," I say sitting down and my mom serving me breakfast. "I see your guests are already arriving." I say looking over the terrace balcony. "Yes and that reminds me, let's go welcome them." My mom says to my dad. "You two kids have fun, we'll see you later." My mom adds. "So what are we doing today?" Phoebe asks excitedly. "I wa

Alexis's POV Down the hall, standing by the door to my bedroom, was Mason. For the smallest fraction of a second, less time than it took to inhale a full breath of air, I got excited. I didn't care if he was there to tell me why Luke wasn't the perfect guy for me or lecture me about Luke. He was standing at my door, and that was everything. But then I remembered that I was mad at him, and the thrill faded. Mason has been but an emotional roller coaster for me. With a solemn expression and my eyes forward, I strutted toward my bedroom. Even as I refused to look at him, though, I saw him. On the surface, he looked composed and put together like he always did, but there was something today, he looks frazzled today. "That didn't take long," Mason said when I stopped at my door. So he thought I'd slipped away to sleep with Luke. I stepped into my room and he followed me in. He closed the door with his foot and trailed behind me. "Are you going to tell me anything?" he asked while

Alexis’s POV I woke up alone in bed, I check the time on my bedside clock and it said 11:am. Which meant I had to get up before my mom comes looking for me, with all the guests around she probably wouldn't notice I wasn't there but still.Turning over, I see Mason sitting on the corner chair facing my bed.I wasn't alone after all.Mason sat in the chair in the corner of my room, his elbow propped on the armrest, watching me.The events of last night come crashing down on me, his revelations. He told me he loved me and wanted us to be together, all that right now seems so unreal.He was dressed up, he must have gone to his room took a shower, changed and came back."You're dressed, waiting to say goodbye?" I asked looking at him.He smiled lazily. "I don't know what you mean. I'm just watching you sleep.""Why?" I asked my eyes still on him.His face was in the shadows, but I could feel his expression sober even if I couldn't see it. "Because I can't not look at you." He says.My in

Thank God when I go back to Phoebe's apartment, she isn't home. I really needed to be alone, coming here was a complete mistake.I'm surfing through flights back to Switzerland when Angie calls my phone, I had told I was in New York so definitely she wanted to hang out before I left but honestly right now all I want is to be alone."Hey," I answer her call on the 2nd ring."Okay so Alexis I'm sorry, I know you said I shouldn't tell anyone you were in New York but I slipped off and told Beth and now she has this surprise dinner planned for you." Angie rants immediately I answer."Right now?" I ask."Yeah and I'm downstairs at the apartment you told me you were at, can please you let me up." She says.I let her up and she manages to convince me to get ready and go with her.We reach the restaurant where we're having dinner, with Beth and who knows who's going to be there. Probably Mason, and Beth's boyfriend Nick and maybe Luke.And obviously I was right, the whole friend group were the

Alexis's POV The whole universe is working against me leaving New York. I was supposed to leave 2 days ago but guess what all flights in and out of New York were grounded due to a huge storm.I'm with Phoebe and Luke in Phoebe's apartment hanging out. "I can't wait to leave!" Phoebe exclaims smacking Luke's arm as he takes a fry off her plate."Yeah right, so you can go back to your boring life." Luke says and she smacks him again. They fight every single day but they are also each other's favorite, I don't have any siblings so it's so good to witness.My phone rings and we all look at it to see it's Mason calling."Again?" Phoebe asks. "This is the 5th time he has called today." She adds and I nod yes.I don't answer it and he calls back almost immediately."Alexis please answer your lover boy." Phoebe says sighing and I glare at her. Luke just sits there quietly watching me.I excuse myself to the guest bedroom where I'm currently staying."Hey." I say answering his call."Finally

Alexis's POV I text Mason that I'm outside and like clockwork he joins me.I felt it the moment he walked outside his apartment building. Warmth flooded my body, the hairs on the back of my neck tingled, and sure enough, I turned to see him standing with the door man his eyes looking across the street to where I was standing. His hot gaze zeroing in on me as my pulse sped up, I smiled and gave a little wave, then gestured for him to cross over.He didn't smile back, just swept those beautiful beautiful eyes over my body, a slow and deliberate up-and-down that heated my cheeks. My clothes was by no means indecent blue jeans and a tank top and ofcourse a coat over it. But the way he looked at me, I might as well have been naked with a big bow tied around me.I swallowed, scowling when I glimpsed the amused gleam in his eyes. He knew how easily he got to me. Knew what he did to me with one sultry look.As he wandered over and crossed over the street to me, my gaze stayed glued on him.W

Alexis's POV I have been back in Geneva Switzerland for 3 weeks now almost a whole month. Almost a whole month of a long distance relationship with Mason, it's harder than I thought it would be. I miss him like crazy even though we literally talk on the phone every day, sometimes we FaceTime but it's still not enough. And also a whole ass month without sex, without sex with Mason. I think about Mason so much that I think I might be going insane.He's coming to visit soon though, he was supposed to come visit me 2 weeks ago but as usual the universe is in our way and he couldn't come due to work. So we agreed that he would come visit after a month.I'm in my lab working, when my phone rings. I check to see it's Mason calling, there's a huge time difference between here and New York so it's also a little hard to find the perfect time to talk.Another thing f*ucking up our relationship."Baby." Mason says immediately I answer and I smile my heart constricting at the sound of his perfec

Out of Bounds Chapter 45
The Happiest Days.Six blissful months of living with Mason. He has been amazing and more than I ever expected, not that I expected things not to go well.I know myself, I love recklessly even if it consumes me and honestly what’s the point of loving someone if it doesn’t consume you. I might not even be making sense but to myself it’s the most sane I’ve ever been.Mason loves me and I love him that’s all that matters.We’ve kept our engagement a secret between us, Mason got me a huge engagement ring and everything which is being kept in my dressing drawer.Sometimes I wear it and only it as Mason makes love to me, slowly and beautifully.Both our families and friends still don’t know about the engagement. My mother still has her issues with the relationship though I’d like to think she’s been pretty cool about it and she’s coming around to accepting it and my father is always supportive of anything that makes me happy.Mason’s parents though love our relationship and are absolutely o

My relationship with my mother has always been a normal conventional one or atleast I think so. We fight and make up, we don’t agree on everything and sometimes we agree on everything, she has expectations of me as her daughter and I also have expectations of her as my mother.So I wasn’t particularly surprised when I received an angry voicemail from her, when she found out about Mason and I.Mind you, no one still knows he even asked me to marry him. All she knows or heard is we’re in a relationship and I’m living with him.In her own words, “Alexis what’s this I hear about you and Mason dating? Please tell me this is false news?” That’s from voicemail one.Then she left another one, “Alexis call me back! and for me to find out from Mason’s mother?? How could you do this to me??”Her exact words.“Hey you okay??” Mason asks from the kitchen. He’s cooking something, I don’t know what and I was happily watching him until I checked my phone.“Uhnmm excuse me, I need to call my mother ba

Alexis’s POV Dinner with Mason’s dad was anything other than I expected. Not that I expected it to go well, their relationship isn’t particularly a good relationship. But it was like being in an episode of succession, with Logan and Kendall being passive aggressive and I thought women were the passive aggressive ones no offense to us.One good thing though, Mason’s dad is happy that I’m now with his son. Which by the way Mason made it feel we’re just in a casual relationship, technically he said it to his father.I mean maybe he’s just like that with his father because of some unresolved issues between them, atleast that’s what I’m telling myself anyway because his words hurt.To be exact his words were.His father had said, “Alexis I’m glad you and my son are together can’t wait for you to officially part of the family.”“How about you don’t ruin something casual.” Mason had said to his father and his words hurt but I didn’t take it to heart, I told myself it’s not about me it’s abo

Alexis's POVI spend the first two days in bed, in and out of sleep. I miss Mason every morning because he leaves for work while I’m asleep, I always feel his goodbye kiss though. We only managed to eat dinner together once which by the way I started yawning half way through. Which then Mason tucked me in bed and went into his home office to work.His has been pretty occupied by work, I haven’t had the chance to ask him what’s going on with that but I feel the jet lagged leaving my body already so I’m going to be more present.I turn in bed checking the time on the bedside clock. It’s 5:20 pm, I’ve literally slept all day but thank God I feel refreshed. I look for my phone which I feel under the covers, I have 32 missed calls.What the hell?Half are from my mother, some from Angie my best friend, few from Jess and Nick, Mason’s friends well now my friends too. Few messages, everyone wondering where I am and how am doing.And ofcourse my mom threatening to call the police and report m

Alexis's POV After our short romance filled trip to Italy which was about 2 months ago, I went back to work in Geneva. Still focusing neurodegenerative diseases highlighting the need to better understand the regenerative capacity and many uses of stem cells in the field. One thing I can say absolutely is that I find my work and being in the fulfilling but I also haven't had a break from science and everything that has to do with it since I started college. So I kind of feel like this is the right time for me to let's say cool off a bit.Not completely leave my work but pull back a bit and relax. I have finished the third stage of my research here in Geneva now it's time for the medical trials which I don't have to be here for, I can receive updates from anywhere in the world and give out inputs from anywhere.Which is why I'm moving back to New York, the university I've been consulting for here in Geneva want me to stay, they are even thinking of giving a grant for the next project

Alexis's POV "I'm a very jealous person Mason, especially when it comes to you. If there's anything you want me to know, tell me now because I can't stand the thought of you being with another woman." I say after a bit. I was still in lap. He was still holding me but I needed to say this. I know I wasn't perfect, I had slept with his friend but I came clean about it. I don't want a relationship where we have things hidden from each other. "So please Mason, if you there's something I should know. Please tell me now." I added again. "Alexis you have nothing to worry about, I only ever want you." Mason. Says. "If things don't work out for us, I don't know if I can walk away when I need to," I confessed, the panic rising up in me. "We're past walking away, Alexis." A statement of fact, as if my fate were already sealed by his words. "I wasn't looking for you. But I still found you Alexis, there's no going back for us. You're mine as I am yours." With those words, I'm melting.
Out of Bounds Chapter 39
Alexis's POV I can't stay here. I couldn't. I grab my phone and handbag heading for the elevator, before it opens I quickly head down the stairs instead of waiting for it.I couldn't see Mason right now, I didn't want to cry because that's what would happen if I saw him.Once I reach the ground floor of the hotel, I ask the reception to get me a car while I google hotels in Rome."The car is here for you Madame," the receptionist says in a thick Italian accent."Thank you." I say heading out.As I get into the car, I see Mason running out to me. "Alexis!" He calls out my name but I close the car door quickly and ask the driver to please go."dove stai andando signora" the driver says in Italian. He was asking where I wanted to go to.Being a nerd, I actually know a little Italian though I'm rusty."Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel." I read out for him from the trip advisor page I googled."Sì signora." He says as he drives.My head is spinning, I have so many thoughts going t

Alexis's POV I took 5 days off work. Mason and I are going Rome today. One of the most romantic cities ever, I'm beyond excited. I had spent the week, since Mason went back to New York, planning shopping for the trip. I'm not someone who has had alot of experiences with boyfriends, never even traveled out of the country with a guy so maybe I'm a little over excited. My bags are packed, I'm meeting Mason at the airport. He's coming from New York, meeting me here so we can leave together. The whole plane ride to Italy, Rome wasn't anything particular. Mason mostly worked on his laptop while I wrote and balanced equations of test results of my research. Immediately we arrived a car was waiting for us at the airport, which immediately took us to this very luxurious hotel. Our room was beautiful. It has a vibe of royalty with a splash of rich architecture. It had a huge living room, a dining room and don't even get me started on the bedroom and bathroom. "Wow." I whispered looking

Alexis's POV When I wake up I'm alone in bed. I look around for any sign of Mason but I don't see any, did I imagine or dream about him being here? It can't possibly be a dream it felt surreal and ofcourse I'm naked which means last night definitely happen. I hop out of bed and go look for him in the living or kitchen but I don't find him so I just hop into the shower. I'm already late for work. When I'm done with my shower I hear voices coming from my dinning room so I go to check. It's Mason he's on the phone, when he sees me he waves me over to him his phone still pressed to his ears. "I will tell her, I love you too." He says ending his call as I stood in front of him. "Your mom?" I ask. "Yes and she wanted me to say hello to you." He says and I frown. "You told your mother about us?" I ask. "Not in that sense but she knows I came here to see you." He explains and I nod with relieve, I haven't told my parents about Mason and I so I don't want them finding out from someon
